HIS POLITICAL CAREER

Hs made his mark as stump speaker
soon after returning home from the
| Mexican war, and in 1852 was recog-
nized leader of the Democratic party.
In 1860 came critical period in his
career, and although there are men who
still assert that his sympathy was with
the Secessionists, there is plenty Of evil
dence that the South had no claim upon
him; that, whatever his original senti-
ments may have been, his public utter
ances were always loyal, and that when
the crisis came he was on the right side.
The country he lived in was full of
Southern smpathizers, his mother S
family were Secessiorsts, and his sur
roundings made loyalty unpopular. The
story that he rendered his services to JEFF
ferson Davis is contradcted by that gen.
tleman, who says he never heard of
Logan until more than a year alter the
war began.
There are several witnesses to the fact
that in November, 1860, when Lincoln S
election was assured, and threats were
freely made that be should not be inaugu-
rated, Logan publicly declared that he
would shoulder musket and escort the
''rai-splitter' to the White House.
While he was in Washington attending
the called session of Congress in the
summer of 1861 he went to the front, as
many Representatives did, 10 visit the
army in Virginia. and being the guest of
Colonel Richardson when the battle of
Bull Run took place, he was given a
musket ami fou hit through that eventful
Suly day as private in the ranks.
General Graut, in his memoirs, pays
many tributes to General Logan, and al
ludes to hi as "A prompt. gallant and
efficient officer" Logan had the reputa-
ton of being chronic GROWER, and
! General Grant once said that he twas
never at peace except III war" He thrived
on opposition, and was never SO cool, or
so..good-nat ured as when he was in the
midst of an exciting contest. General
Grant, VIXEN he was in the White House,
once described his characteristics by
comparing him with the late Oliver u.
Morton. Morton will come to me. ;"
said Grant, with two requests. | will
grant one of them, and he will go away
boasting of his influence with the ad-
mlnis,ration. Logan will come with
thirteen requests. will grant twelve OF
them, and he will go away swearing that
his wishes are never complied with"

who voted with the Democrats for David
Davis. In 1878, however, he was more
successful, and succeeded to the seat of
Richard J. Oslesby. Again, in 1885, he
was reelected for the term ending in

General Logan was an active
all the military reunions, and Wa
mental in founding the Grand a
the Republic, which originated
catur, Ill. He was the first nation;
mander of that organization, and
issued the order in 1865 for the dc

in securing pension legislation; was
of the most urgent advocates of the A
rears of Pension bill, and has neve

present bill for the equalization of
bounties. In 1884 he was nominated for
vice president on the ticket with James
G. Blaine and was defeated by the Demo
cratic success in the election of President
Cleveland.
His financial views have always been
the subject of more or less criticism in
the Eastern press, but they have usually
represented the sentiments of his consti-
tuency In 1866 he made his first finan-
cia speech, in which he took strong
grounds in favor of the payment of the
national debt both bonds and green
backs, in gold coin. This position he
held until the initiation of 1874, when he
followed the popular western movement
and voted for the Initiation bill, which
Grant vetoed. Bat in the following year
he was member OF the Senate Commit
tee on Finance and favored the Sherman
Resumption act, which went into effect
January /, 1879.
